Services

Below are examples of the support and repair services I am able to provide. Wherever possible work is carried out at your home or office, although in certain circumstances it may be more cost effective to take your computer away, such as an operating system install or for hardware testing.

My charges are £30 per hour, for on-site work with no call out charge (one hour minimum then charged in half hour increments) and £20 per hour for off-site or remote work (half hour minimum then charged in quarter hour increments).
